Dua for When Wearing New Clothes

According to the schedule of Dawat-e-Islami’s Sunna-inspired gathering, we will now learn a dua. This week, we will learn the dua we can recite when wearing new clothes.

اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِی کَسَانِی مَا اُوَارِیْ بِہٖ عَوْرَتِی وَاَتَجَمَّلُ بَہٖ فِی حَیَاتِیْ

All praise is for Allah, who has clothed me with this garment, through which I cover my body and attain beauty in my life.^[1]

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                            صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Method of collective accountability (72 Pious Deeds)

The Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said, “Pondering ˹over the Hereafter˺ for a moment is better than 60 years of worship.”^[2]

Let’s make good intentions before filling in the Pious Deeds booklet:

1.       To please Allah, I will hold myself to account through the Pious Deeds booklet and encourage others to do the same.

I will praise (i.e. thank) Allah Almighty for the pious deeds which I practised.

I will regret not acting upon the pious deeds I missed out on and will try to act on them in the future.

Allah Almighty forbid, if I have not acted on any pious deed which prevents a person from sinning, I will repent to Allah and make a firm intention to not sin in the future.
